Some Like It Hot (1959) dir. Billy Wilder

“If I had to sit through one of my films twice, I’d go mad.  I tend to munch on popcorn, saying ‘No, no, you fool, you’re playing the scene wrong.  You’re lousing up the picture.  Come on, Lemmon, ACT!’”

“His own mother would hardly call him handsome.  His face is craggy and square, his figure is stocky.  His voice is crisp rather than musical.  Yet how effortlessly he holds the eye and ear–even when, at one memorable occasion, he breaks into song and dance. Dump him down with his back to the camera and Hedy Lamarr playing opposite him and I wager your eyes would still be riveted on the electrical little man with red hair.”         –London’s Daily Telegraph, 1938

 The next day at the Cort Theater, she was formally introduced to the male lead–James Cagney.  Years later, she was to say that she fell in love with him that very moment, only to be floored when Kelly invited the entire cast to lunch at the nearby English Tearoom, where Mrs. Cagney had reserved a booth.  But Joan said when she saw the way Jimmy and Bill greeted each other, that was the last idea that she had of any romantic attachment between them.  It was, however, the beginning of a long friendship.
